Sixteen percent is the size of the
assessment which is levied by the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Cecil County the present year on its
members. That is, it costs SIG to
insure $1,000 worth of property
where the premium note is 10 per

statement it will be seen that these
heavy losses which Cecil County
property holders are called upon to
foot are mainly foreign.
A lady in East Liberty, Pa, whose face

G. NJ. Childs, Of Conowingo, has
gone to New England for few weeks
to recuperate his health, which has
suffered severely from too close ap-
plication to business. From the
same cause he has been induced to

to make this announcement and hope
that few weeks of New England
air will so far recaperate Mr.. c. as to
give him new lease of strength.

The B. & o. R. R. management
has gone into the hands of New
York parties, and the telegraph lines
it controlled into Jay Gould's hands,

six hundred millions of railroad
property. and the Knights of Labor
and Knights of the Farm cannot see
to this anomalous state of affairs in
a free government too soon.
